I haven’t heard of any burning at the stake or Inquisitions lately, have you? Some of our priests engaged in horrific rapes of children. This has gone on for centuries but we no longer tolerate it, do we? We used to preach that all the Jews and protestants and other non-Catholics go straight to hell. We don’t preach that anymore, do we?
We are a work in progress but yes we have achieved significant areas of enlightenment as a perfect faith run on this earth by humans. I am not endorsing or condemning the Pope on his numerous opinions. But I think it is vitally important as a faith to ask ourselves - what is motivating him?
1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
We preached what?
Who is we?
I never heard anyone in the Catholic Church preach the things you are talking about.
I don’t know who ‘we’ is/are
Burning at the stake wha?
I know that the church didn’t rape anyone. Misguided evil people calling themselves catholic do. Same as misguided people calling themselves catholic claim that there is no more evil and yoga is fine
